Walking and Talking with Jesus
Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out?

I appreciate how THE CHOSEN film series has captured some of those shenanigans and how patient Jesus is…
Run to those Open Arms
Okay! Maybe I’m a “stuck record”! An FYI to the kids who don’t know what “stuck record” means – it refers to the needle on a record player that got stuck on a record and we kept hearing the same lyrics over and over. In my case, it means I can’t move off the story…
